My shower was yesterday and it was fabulous. Now comes the fun organizing part, yay. I can't believe there are only 4 weeks left. This went both fast and slow. I'm very excited to meet Mr. No Name, but trying to figure out what reality will be like is a bit daunting. I'm so thankful Q's school provides most of their supplies, so I don't have to worry about that. Just getting him ready for kindergarten and having a baby brother, like that's not enough work!

I'm almost 14 weeks and feeling somewhat normal again. Some days are more exhausting than others. And I'm definitely feeling and looking bigger this time around! As my girls see my belly growing, they're starting to grasp that they're gonna have a new sibling coming. It's too cute coz they're starting to fight as to who gets to do what with the baby. They're both very eager to help lol! Also, I've finally convinced H to get me a bigger car. So, we're shopping for an Odyssey right now. I'm excited about getting a new car, but I'm not looking forward to having a car payment again

22 weeks. Pregnancy is going really well. Still having some back pain and contemplating putting my 2 weeks at work, but can't seem to bring myself to do it. I still feel great overall and strangely my back doesn't hurt while I'm working. It's only after I've been sitting. So I'm taking it week by week.

Amelia is going through an amazing stage. She has a random day here and there with tantrums and glimpses of terrible threes but for the most part she's so sweet and getting so smart. I can't believe she's going to be a big sister but she's definitely cut out for the job.

Shane rolled off the couch last week when I was letting the dog out. I felt horrible, because I know better, but he had just woken up and wasn't moving much when I put him down. I suck and I felt awful, but after crying for a minute he was laughing and happy.

He's been in the 4 month wakeful period for a few weeks and it was painful for both of us. I felt like I was running on coffee. The last two days have been "normal" and I feel like a human again. I hope I'm not jinxing myself.

Annabel is 7 weeks, and things are settling down for me. She has pretty bad reflux and Zantac has made a huge difference. She is a much happier baby lately. She went from a baby who constantly fussed unless she was nursing, never could be set down for a minute (tough with other little ones) and barely ever napped to a smiley, much more easy going baby. It's tough to see your newborn so unhappy and not be able to fix it, so I'm relieved she's doing better. The ergo has been a tremendous help too. Annabel is a great nightime sleeper, she's been averaging 6-8 hours for a while now. Last night she went her longest stretch yet, 9 hours, and I'm hoping it continues.

Beckett and Maisy are good, still totally smitten with their baby sister. They are both so helpful when it comes to her, that they'll practically beat each other trying to be the one who gets to bring me the burp cloth. Maisy's been trying out some 2 year old behavior. Last week it was tantrums, but she's moved on, and this week, it's the crazy loudness- screaming and screeching about everything. Usually at or because of her big brother. She is so sweet though and I am just loving watching her vivacious little personality emerge more and more everyday. Beckett is just counting down the days until he's a big kindergartner. I, however, am not. I'm not ready!
